I have a @SpringBootTest with 2 tests of a service (happy + negative flows) which calls an external API. I used wiremock to stub the response of that API. When I run each test individually they pass, but when I run the entire class the second test fails. I assumed it’s because of the stub not being properly cleaned and as a solution I did a `WireMock.reset()` before each test. This doesn’t fix the issue. However, @DirtiesContext on the first test seems to fix it. I wish I didn’t have to use this annotation as it slows down the tests and is a bad practice all together to refresh the spring context after each test.

The tests look like this:

@SpringBootTest(webEnvironment = SpringBootTest.WebEnvironment.RANDOM_PORT)
@ActiveProfiles("test")
@AutoConfigureWireMock(port = 0)
public class ServiceClientTest{

    private static final String EXPECTED_NAME = "dummy";
    private static final String ID = "123";
    private static final String PERSON_NUMBER = "1234";
    // under test
    @Autowired
    private ServiceClient serviceClient;

    @AfterEach
    public void setUp() {
        WireMock.reset();
    }

    @Test
//    @DirtiesContext -> this fixes the tests
    public void testGetName() {
        stubFor(post(urlPathEqualTo("/externalAPI")).withRequestBody(equalToJson(getBody()))
                .willReturn(aResponse()
                        .withHeaders(createRestResponseHeaders())
                        .withStatus(200)
                        .withBody(getResponse())));

        Name name = serviceClient.getName(PERSON_NUMBER, ID);

        assertThat(name.getValue()).isEqualTo(EXPECTED_NAME);
        verify(postRequestedFor(urlPathEqualTo("/graphql")));
    }

    @Test
    public void testGetName_BadRequest() {
        WireMock.stubFor(WireMock.any(urlPathEqualTo("/externalAPI"))
                .willReturn(aResponse()
                        .withHeaders(createRestResponseHeaders())
                        .withStatus(HttpStatus.BAD_REQUEST.value())));

        assertThatThrownBy(() ->
                serviceClient.getName(PERSON_NUMBER, ID))
                .isInstanceOf(BadResponseException.class);

        verify(postRequestedFor(urlPathEqualTo("/graphql")));
    }

    private static HttpHeaders createRestResponseHeaders() {
        return new HttpHeaders(
                new HttpHeader("Accept", "application/json"),
                new HttpHeader("Content-type", "application/json")
        );
    }
}

Tried WireMock.reset() to reset the stubs before each test.

Tried adding scenarios to each stub.
